Rampant Vitória Hit Four Past 10-Man Coritiba in Série A Clash
EC Vitória produced a ruthless attacking performance to defeat Coritiba FBC 4–1 in a Campeonato Brasileiro Série A matchday 14 encounter on 2 May 2026.
The hosts struck first on 15 minutes when Carlos Renê finished off a move set up by Luan Cândido, giving Vitória an early advantage. Coritiba’s task became significantly harder eight minutes later as Thiago Santos was booked before Tiago was sent off in the 26th minute, leaving the visitors with 10 men.
Vitória quickly capitalised on their numerical superiority. In the 28th minute, Zé Vitor doubled the lead after being picked out by Erick, putting the home side firmly in control. Coritiba, however, found a lifeline deep into first-half stoppage time, as Pedro Rocha pulled one back in the 45+3 minute following an assist from Tinga to make it 2–1 at the break.
The second half belonged to Vitória. Coach changes at the interval saw Matheuzinho replaced by Diego Tarzia, a move that paid off just nine minutes later. In the 55th minute, Tarzia restored the two-goal cushion, finishing a chance created by the influential Carlos Renê for 3–1.
Any remaining doubt about the result disappeared in the 61st minute when Erick converted from the penalty spot to extend Vitória’s lead to 4–1. Coritiba responded with a triple substitution around the 63rd minute, introducing João Pedro Chermont, Renato Marques and Vini Paulista, but the damage had already been done.
Vitória managed the closing stages comfortably, with further substitutions including Ronald, Edenilson, Neris and Marinho seeing out a convincing victory. Bookings for Matheuzinho, Zé Vitor and Carlos Renê highlighted Vitória’s intensity, while Coritiba’s early red card proved pivotal.
